Stonepig's My Container garden

Created on Sunday, 06 Jul 08

Moved into this house in January 2008. I have a small patio area at the back which is south west facing and a small gravelled area at the front of the house which faces east. The main problems with the garden are lack of sun and too many slugs…..but most things seem to be growing fine so far.
